I Want To Remember

Hey there, Water-Walker, Day b4 yesterday, as I slowly made my way down the stairs at home, knees in the same constant pain, I’ve lived in for months now… counting down the days to surgery. Slowly, one step down, then another. Then, out of the blue; all of a sudden, and every other cliche that represents in the instant of the moment between one step and the next, something enveloped me, stopped me in my step and overwhelmed every other thought or idea that begged entrance into my brain or out of my brain. I was conscious of two things in this order, a loud spiritually audible voice that was clearly resonating from the inside of me.

Neither English nor Spanish nor French but Spirit. One sentence only. Loud, reverberating through my soul like a waterfall tumbling into an awaiting and hungry river below.

One sentence. YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT. In that moment, I could not move backward nor forward, only leaned into the wall of the stairwell; for support in the revelatory moment. I was aware of My breathing and a quiet rising of my chest into as I chose not to stop the tears that all of a sudden cascaded freely and mixed their salty trail into a flooding of my spirit. Everything inside me welcomed the words that rang clear and pure, welcomed and wonderful. YOU WILL BE ALL RIGHT.

I knew it was too pure, resonant and soul shaking not to be God’s voice though not more than a whisper rang like a two ton bell atop a monestary in some far off country piped in through some broadband connection between God and me. In those following moments, still not one step further than when i began my descent to my living room, i knew that everything, EVERYthing, EVERYTHING, every question, every doubt, every concern, every thought that I’d ever taken to the whats, whys, when, ifs, coulds, shoulds, ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING that ever concerned me would be all right. ALL MADE RIGHT!

My reply, simple. So unlike my writing. So unlike my ususal. “Thank you, thank you, thank you. Mixed with the salt of every tear, thank you, thank you. then finally, after I’m not sure how long. I moved to the next step, comforted, content, KNOWING THAT I WAS NOT ALONE. The God of the Universe took the time, to make an unannounced visit. Usually, I pray and I expect miracles. But He came to me…just because. Just because.  

Love,
stanice
